Broadjam Artist: Fred Kimmel
Song: Oh Yeah
Reviewer: Bob Birthisel
Positive Comments: This song has a wicked-good vibe and sounds a bit like Prince at times. Well-played and the vocal work is excellent. The instrumentation is super-tight and clean. Has huge possibilities for licensing with a couple of slight tweaks. Love almost everything about this tune, especially the feel and energy.
Constructive Comments: PERSONAL OPINION ONLY, not a knock because I think the song is great. Just get rid of the horrific distortion effect on some of the vocal. Leave that for people who can’t actually sing, but YOU CAN! For me it destroyed the amazing sound I was getting from the instruments and pulled the song’s rating down. I’d re-mix this with clean vocals throughout, leaving only moderate fuzz on the guitar (which definitely works as it is currently). I think you’d have a monster on your hands with that tweak. A very wise engineer once told me, “Never use effects for the sake of using effects – it’s like saying the Mona Lisa needs blue bubbles around her to give it some color.”
